Yeah, I will definitely be doing this shortly with the next release. I just wanted to make sure that everything was organized the way I wanted it. Thanks for your patience with the localizations.

I think that is kind of out of the scope for this extension. From the extension you can easily access either your extensions or themes window and select which you would like to install. Though I will probably add an option to install all extension or theme updates.

I haven't implemented those features yet and am currently working on them.

Alternatively, you could offer the ability to select whether to check for extensions and/or themes in the options dialog. Two lines of visual bloat to the options dialog vs. four to the pull-down menu.

edit: in retrospect, this need not preclude you from adding the four extra items to the pull-down menu, but they could be linked to the options to disable either or.

As well, I'm not sure that anyone would actually want to just update themes and not extensions...

Is it supposed to work under linux too? I have it installed like two weeks now and I've never seen to work in a firefox debian. I have done updates going to the extension window and update them like before. no update notification at all

I have only had the chance to test on Windows. Though I don't see why it wouldn't work for Linux considering it is only using update methods through Firefox. Make sure that you have the icon added to your toolbar, it could be the case that it is installed and you just didn't drag it to your toolbar. Thanks.

I just updated Update Notifier to 0.1.2 and only have the English available. The webpage has not been updated and I will do that shortly with translations as well. Please let me know if you have any problems with it and if all is good I will submit to BabelZilla for translations. I'm still working on tweaking the progress bar and will have that available shortly. At least for now there is an icon notifying when a restart is required.

What's new:
- Added icon to notify when a restart is required.
- Added ability to restart either Firefox/Thunderbird.
- Added option to display the update icons in the statusbar.
- Added option to prompt for restart when all updates install.
- Added option to set the interval for update checking.
- Organized options window with tabs and default button.

Thanks.

All right, 0.1.2 totally borks visually in the RedShift theme. The tabs in the options menu are screwed over, and the toolbar icon looks to have the upper right corner of a tab behind it, with the dropmarker gone. This wasn't happening in 0.1.1 (though the first thing didn't even exist in 0.1.1, so it couldn't have happened, naturally). Reverting to 0.1.1 fixes it, so it isn't some weird unrelated bug that just happened to coincide with the update.

For me, one of the tabs definitely switches positions when clicked, and never returns to its original position.

And I seem to have this issue as well. The theme I'm using is Black Japan in both Firefox and Thunderbird and these issues appear in both.

Yeah, it's exactly the same for me except there's a tiny bit of red on the very right of the tab-like-thing.
Which then makes me realize that it is actually not, in fact, a piece of a tab. Upon close examination, that's actually the appearance of the top right corner of a dialog button.
Anyway, it would make sense for the issue to appear in both the Shift themes and BlackJapan, considering RedShift (the other Shift themes were technically based on Red) was originally based on BlackJapan. Though it was changed around plenty during the advent of RedShift, it did use BlackJapan as its code base.

I'll work on the appearance so that it is good for all themes. I'm more concerned that the extension functions correct and not as worried about the appearance. I'll resolve this along with adding a progress bar. Thanks for the heads up about the themes.
